Award-winning narrator Tavia Gilbert is eager to perform Maggie Vaults Over the Moon on Audiobook. A crowdfunding campaign will begin March 1, 2014 to pay for the production. Key players in the worldwide pole-vaulting community have donated PERKS to be offered during the campaign, and more are needed. Here’s how you can join them.

Dear Maggie Fans,

Acclaimed narrator Tavia Gilbert has enthusiastically agreed to perform Maggie Vaults Over the Moon on Audiobook!

Tavia is a mega-star in the audiobook industry in New York City — An Olympic-caliber talent in her genre with more than 150 titles to her credit, she has been nominated six times for the Audie Award, which is equal to the Academy Award in her profession.

Her dramatic performance of the sport’s greatest novel will help raise awareness of pole-vaulting through the best audiobook publishing channels. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in a unique 30-day crowdfunding campaign, beginning March 1, 2014, on Indiegogo.

The campaign will run like an online pledge drive. I’m inviting camp owners and companies around the nation and the world to get involved. By donating PERKS to help attract donors in your region, you’ll put your club or business in the limelight, and help us reach our publishing goal of $3,000.

In exchange for your support, you will receive copies of Maggie Vaults Over the Moon to give away as Maggie Awards, and your camp will be featured on this blog.

Indiegogo is a crowdfunding platform, like Kickstarter.

A number of key leaders in the pole-vault community who believe in Maggie Vaults Over the Moon have already stepped up to support the project. (See below).

I’m confident that many more clubs and companies will get on board soon. I hope you will join them. Please contact me at GoTeamEnterprises@gmail.com, or through the contact page of this blog.

With your support, a truly inspiring story about the world’s greatest sport is destined to be heard.

Highest and Best,

Grant Overstake Author and Publisher, Go Team! Enterprises
